Relic

• For players that don't own Janthir Wilds, a Relic of the Thief is the best option.
• Against bosses that don't get Stunned, a Sigil of Superior Sigil of Air on Dagger/Mace and a Sigil of Superior Sigil of Hydromancy on Sword/Axe will do more DPS than the Sigil of Superior Sigil of Impacts.

Utility

Usage

Start on Dagger/Mace. If possible, you can precast all your signet skills before the encounter starts to stack up Signet Mastery. Make sure Signet of Fury is the last one you use, as it has its own potent buff when cast. You can repeat this trick whenever you have downtime and can't hit the boss.

If you have sufficient time before an encounter, you can cast some signets more than once - potentially starting on five stacks of Signet Mastery and with the Signet of Might passive. In this case you could also bring "We Will Never Yield!" or Battle Standard for some defensive utility.

If you have downtime in the fight, you can cast your heal or elite signets to stay at five stacks of Signet Mastery.

As your autoattacks are very fast thanks to Dual Wielding, it can be difficult to track how many auto chains you've done. Some advice is included on when to use skills.
